End to U.S. abuse of UN name called for
KCNA
Pyongyang, April 17 (KCNA) -- A DPRK delegate in a speech at a meeting of the special commission on the UN Charter and the increasing of its role, accused the united states of still wearing the mask of the UN on the Korean Peninsula. He held that it is high time for the special commission to seek a way to put an end to the U.S. ceaseless abuse of the UN name and its resultant legal contradiction.
The present international situation where the international order is disturbed and the trust in the UN hurt by the U.S. arrogant attitude and high-handed practices and its policy of strength calls for asserting the spirit of the un charter and increasing its role as regards the relations between states and the preservation of international peace and security, he said, urging the special commission to pay primary attention to putting a brake on the arbitrary practices and high-handed policy of the country styling itself the "only superpower" in the present international relations and restoring the role of the un.
The U.S. violation of the UN Charter and legal duties is being perpetrated on the Korean Peninsula, too, he said. More than 40,000 U.S. troops are present in South Korea under the helmets of the "UN force" and the present U.S. administration recoils from implementing its legal commitment to honor the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework, rendering the situation on the Korean Peninsula extremely tense.
The U.S. administration, in particular, is handling the nuclear issue, a product of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, in contravention of the relevant resolution of the UN General Assembly and the principle of the UN Charter which ban the use of force and call for settling all disputes in a peaceful way, he said, adding that the United States is violating and misusing the articles of the Korean Armistice Agreement as it pleases as evidenced by the amassing of armed forces around the Korean Peninsula and staging of all forms of military exercises in a bid to mount a preemptive military attack on the DPRK under the pretext of the nuclear issue
